See What Gutters In Calabar Looks Like After Any Rainfall (Photos)
This is MCC by Ibok street. This drain is 1.2m deep by 0.8m wide. I don’t and will not blame the government of the day totally for the volume of debris in the drains. I blame us. We have failed in playing our very little part.
1. Stop dumping refuse in drains.
2. Residents should move fallen tree branches and trees after cutting them to points storm water can’t move them into drains. Especially if they don’t have the resources to evacuate them.
The milk is spilt. What is the way forward? I have had to walk around these zone( Ikot Efa, Parliamentary, Ibok Street, Effioette, MCC, Ikot Uduak, Akai Efa) during heavy rain and my deduction is that the flooding on Parliamentary road spreading into Ibok Street and MCC are partly because of these blocked drains during heavy rains.
I plead with the government to look into this issue as this is a high brow area. The rainy season is gearing up. Let’s safe face.
